Halfrauds do a small inline non return valve, about £2.50
EDIT: www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servl...-1_categoryId_165746
3/16" or about 8mm sounds about right?

There is a very simple solution to this that works very very well. When I set about replacing the non return valve as discussed I had to buy a pack of two. Use both! Fit two non return valves straight after each other about an inch apart. I thought the resistance would stop it working or reduce the flow, but it doesn't. Stopped the leaking and it hasn't leaked since. You will not believe how long your washer bottle lasts after doing this.

I was wondering if I can put the valve at the same tube but into the engine bay, not at the rear door. Theoretically, should be the same thing. The idea is not to remove the door plastic cover. Thank you!

I did exactly that - 2 in-line valves near the washer bottle. Worked great!

I already ordered a new one from ebay for £2. I will do the job soon, hopefully. Thanks for the reply.
